That, too, would create a significant memory and runtime overhead to everyone just to fix this rather minor formatting detail.
If we were to set MatchingParen correctly to match up "${" to "}", we could measure the respective length and at a very early state (mustBreak()) decide that we need a line break between "${" and the corresponding "}". Now setting that correctly might be hard. Maybe it is ok, to linearly scan in that case as we would only do that if we actually find a template string ending in "${" and the distance to the "}" is usually short.
